Federal records from BLM's Mineral & Land Records System, queried against the Census county boundary. Current to September 1, 2026. Federal cases only; private and state land are not represented. A lease or right-of-way that crosses a county line is counted in each county it touches.

Geothermal on federal land

55,601 acres under federal geothermal lease, 20 leases held without production.

25 authorized leases cover 55,601 acres of federal ground in Millard County. 20 are flagged non-producing, which means that acreage is being held rather than developed. BLM leaves the production flag blank on 5, so the record understates what is actually online.

1 new lease on 1,678 acres was authorized in the last twelve months. Somebody is assembling a position here right now, and the private and state inholdings around that federal acreage just became the most interesting tracts in the county.

274 leases on 625,399 acres have been closed out here. That cuts both ways: the resource drew interest, and prior holders let it go rather than develop it. The reason is usually resource, access, or economics, and it is knowable before you commit capital.

The private miles in between are the work.

Competing surface use

4,288 open mining claims compete for the same ground.

Mining claims don't stop a geothermal or right-of-way project, but they compete for surface, complicate siting and access, and each claimant is a party you have to deal with. 1,436 are active, 2,852 newly filed. Which ones actually sit in your footprint is a mapping question, and we answer it tract by tract.

Oil & gas

16 authorized federal oil and gas leases on 27,533 acres. 2,028 more have been closed out. Where oil and gas leasing is active, the mineral estate is very often severed from the surface, and that is the title question that decides whether ground is leasable.

What this page can't tell you

The private half of Millard County isn't in any database.

Everything above is what the federal government controls. It does not show who owns a severed mineral or geothermal estate on private ground, whether that title is clean, what liens sit against it, or which families you'll be negotiating with. That lives in the Millard County recorder's office, and it is the step that decides whether you can actually lease the ground.
